Hey fellas, as i had my car on the hoist the other day i noticed i had pretty bad camber wear on the inside of my back tyres.. And considering the prices for 18 x 10 265's are not cheap! I called Pedders and the quoted me $190 per Camber arm + fitting... a total of $530! it was a joke honestly... I love the way it sits but it will cost me too much on the long run with having to change tyres every 6 - 12 months

Can anyone please recommend what else i can do to get my camber problem fixed?

Regards,

Sarkis

My only concern with aftermarket suspension arms is the issue it may cause over the pits or insurance should one have an accident. For offroad use.. fine.

unless these items have been approved?

Grab the whiteline items, you can't go wrong.

I have series2 R33. I puit the whiteline adjustable arms on it. gave me what i needed and seems good quality (saw some cheap imported stuff that scared me) If to expensive. Superpro or probably even Whiteline will do camber adjustment bushes, but doubt you will gety same amount of adjustment.

Whiteline camber kits on the Group Buy as follows;

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=85467

Excessive negative camber is directly related to height. This is what is usually needed for each height increment, note that all measurements are centre of wheel to guard;

Standard (new) height is 380 mm front and 370 mm rear

360/350 mm needs only the standard rear camber adjusters

350/340 mm needs 1 front camber kit and 1 rear camber kit

340/330 mm needs I front camber kit and 2 rear camber kits

Note that 350/340 is the best height for handling and ride comfort

:) cheers :P

Hi i have seen rear camber kits for R33's on Ebay for a $149 a set .. Besides i wouldnt go to pedders any how they are over priced and over rated in their products check out the link..

Sorry to hijack the thread, but i got wear on mine, but it is only the inside inch, enough to blow my tyre any ideas??

Whiteline are in sydney dude. Give them a call direct if you arer intereseted in their control arms. Becareful of some of the cheaper arms on the market. Quality is pretty low and i would not like to find out what would happen if they failed at 100kph on freeway.

go to a tyre or suspension shop and get them to match the toe to the camber. that will greatly reduce the tyre wear.

All that means is instead of wearing the tyres out fast only on the inside, it wears out the whole tread fast. It’s a band aid, the proper answer is to fix the excessive camber

:ermm: cheers :(

Had my car up on a hoist today and took some pics. I have tein adjustable (height and damper I believe) coilovers and this is what my rear tyres look like.

Is it bad wheel alignment etc or just this camber issue?

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
